Description
=================
! We won't host workawayers from November until March because days are much shorter and there is less work.
=================
Imagine a haven where the warmth of a dog shelter combines harmoniously with the rustic charm of a farm-it exists in Croatia. This unique sanctuary is home to a diverse community of furry companions and friendly farm animals alike. Besides dogs we have 2 donkeys, goats, sheeps, chickens, ducks, a cow and her offspring and a miniature horse. They will all live on a farm until they pass away naturally. Nestled amidst the rolling countryside, the shelter's sprawling grounds host a variety of creatures, from playful dogs wagging their tails to contented farm animals grazing peacefully. The joyful barks of dogs and the gentle sounds of farm life intermingle, creating a symphony of nature's melodies. Visitors are welcomed by the sight of cozy barns and comfortable kennels, each offering a haven for its inhabitants. This extraordinary shelter is a testament to the beauty of coexistence, where the love and care provided to all its inhabitants create a heartwarming atmosphere that captures the essence of a modern-day Noah's Ark.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Travelers can learn from cultural exchange by immersing themselves in the local customs, traditions, and way of life. Volunteering at an animal shelter can provide valuable insights into the community's relationship with animals, local challenges, and the importance of animal welfare. This experience can foster empathy, cross-cultural understanding, and a deeper appreciation for different perspectives.
Help
At a dog shelter, help is typically needed with tasks like feeding, carrying the water to and cleaning kennels, walking dogs, grooming, administering medications, socializing dogs and assisting with adoption events. At a farm animal shelter tasks may include feeding and giving water to animals, cleaning stalls or pens, providing medical care, assisting with animal rehabilitation and maintaining the overall welfare of the farm animals. Both shelters also benefit from volunteers who can help with administrative work, fundraising, and promoting adoption or rescue efforts. We have a lot of greenery so help is also needed with maintaining the environment. Mowing the lawn, watering and planting the flowers, etc.
